Finished my first round of Clomid 50mg. Went for an ultrasound, and I did ovulate bu now have a large cyst on my left ovary so, no Clomid this month

Hi all,
Looking for advice from experienced clomid ladies.
I am on second clomid round, 50 mg. As you can see from my signature, I ovulated on cd 30 first round. Today is cd 23 and no real signs of ovulation!
Doc isnt monitoring me at all, just gave me a batch of clomid pills and said do 3 50mg rounds and then we'll move you onto 3 100mg rounds.
I phoned him after 1st round to say I still had a 6wk cycle and should i up the dose but he said no and repeated the intitial instructions.

Well, now it looks like i am heading for another long cycle I really dont want to do a 3rd 50mg. I want to up myself to 100mg next cycle.

What do you think? Should i go ahead and up it withouth telling the doctor? He is just my GP, not a FS or anything.

I understand there are issues with overstimulation etc, which makes me nervous about upping it with no monitoring but I really dont want ANOTHER long cycle!!!!
Help???

I would consult a fertility specialist if you are unhappy with how your reg doc is handling the situation. I never think self medicating behind a docs back is a good thing. Are you able to tell the doc you never O'd on the 2nd round? Maybe he will swap to 100 sooner? I would be happy you are ovulating as lots of ladies don't and move to higher doses for that reason. Remember each I is a chance at your bfp

i have also read some1 took failed 2 rounds of clomid n in 3rd without it concieved
clomid build up in the system so may b next cycle will be shorter
try 1 more and than call doc again

Sorry kled, that's rough. Did they tell you a size of the cyst? Ate you being prescribed bcpill to take care of itor just no clomid?

 

[Kled]

Hopeful42nd- Just no Clomid this month. They said there is a chance that I could ovulate this month anyways, so we are going to try despite no Clomid.

hi all , i was officially on second round of clomid this cycle, i didnt temp regularly but my temp were high.. showing i had ovulated.. is it possible clomid takes our ovulation signs, as this cycle i never got sore boobs as usual?..
but luckily my cycle was dot on time- day31.. i m on estrogen and progesterone too..

Out for July, witch got me, so here come more tests. Scheduled for an HSG Monday afternoon, found out it's covered under my insurance, HUGE sigh of relief. DH is supposed to do an SA, if he ever gets to the dr to pick up the package and find out exactly what he needs to do. Then we wait for the results. this cycle will be a natural one as dr wants the tests before more clomid.
Best wishes for sticky baby dust to you all!!! I hope to see lots of BFPs
this month!!!!

 

[StellaBella24]

ttcasap - same here! I went to docs as still ovulating late on clomid (see previous post above!) He has not been monitoring me but was surprised i am still ovulating late so said he would montior me next cycle...
BUT...he doesnt want me to do another clomid round until OH has SA! Not told him this as i am ovulating at the moment and thought i would wait to see if we have any luck this time round, then i will talk to him about it.
He has said he would do a SA if it came to it but think he will probably avoid it when it comes to it...male pride!!

GL to you.xx

Hi I drop in on this thread every now and again.

I'm on my 4th round of clomid this cycle. First was 50mg, second, third and fourth are 100mg. Still Oing a little late but waaaaaay better than it was.

I'm a little nervous about clomid working for us, it's time for OH to get a SA and he isn't thrilled. Unfortunately he wont have time to until next month
Trying REALLY hard not to be discouraged...

Good luck to all

AF is due tomorrow, we shall see if the 3rd round of Clomid has brought us a BFP. My doctor says the 3rd round is when most couples concieve so here's hoping and praying!

Hi ladies. I have been MIA for a while but have been stalking. I have had a rough month but trying to pick myself up and be positive. Long story short, had an HSG last month which showed possible hydrosalphinx but open tubes. My gyno was confused and said tubal damage only means IVF....i died when i heard that! so he sent me to see an RE for closer monitoring. My RE looked at the films and also did an ultrasound and said he couldn't see my tubes which was a good thing. Anytime the tubes have fluid or are severly dilated they would show up on the ultrasound. So with that he suggested we try 2 rounds of iui with clomid before jumping the gun to IVF. I am trying to stay positive that iui will work but a part of me is also scared to think I may need IVF

So for now I am back on clomid, I finish on Sunday and I go back to see my RE on Thursday to see when we do the iui. Please keep me in your prayers ladies. It's so strange how last year this date I confirmed my mc and now a year later I'm doing iui. Never thought it would take this long :/

IM BACK!! soo ladies it has been since march. After the ectopic I took a break to see what my body would do on its own and its been miserable! at least when i was on clomid i knew when i would ov and would have a regular cycle.So after this last cycle just not cooperating and having an U/S at the dr office, i decided to start clomid again. I am just hoping that i dont have another ectopic.. the dr doubled my dose from 50 mg which i was on last time that took3 cycles to actually work, to now 100 mg. i am hoping to ov like crazy in the next 5-7 days! bding and opks starting on monday!!! SO GLAD TO BE BACK!!!

 

[sugarpi24]

Well started my third round last night of clomid...hope this is it!!! Does this med make you break out more? I'm breaking out like crazy!!! I never break out!!! Usually my skin is so dry...

Hi everyone!!

I am new to Clomid, just took it first cycle CD5-9. I am on CD12 now and trying to time BDing since we don't BD very often (13-year relationship and he is 40 and in NTNP mode).

I just started using Preseed and I love it! I really feel great (well, the side effects are hitting me hard — nausea, headaches, fatigue) but I feel SO happy and optimistic that THIS IS IT! I'm going to get that BFP!

Been TTC since January after 12 long years waiting to TTC after a MC. Waiting was not my choice, but DH. In January I told him I'm not waiting any more. I'm 32 now and not OVing.

Clomid is going to give me my miracle!!! I hope I don't get discouraged if it doesn't happen the first time! I don't care how miserable I am on Clomid, I won't quit.

 

[sugarpi24]

Good luck!!! Hope its that bfp!!!

 

[stevens2010]

Just thought I'd update that AF arrived making my cycle 34 days - my longest since starting Clomid. Starting the tablets again tomorrow so on to round 4 for me.
